For Sale By Owner (FSBO)/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract many interested buyers. The appraisal is something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, and not just how much your house is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a preferred way to cut costs for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We are experts in helping folks just like you delete unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

Lets say you live in a local area that is declining -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you are paying more taxes than you should. The quicker you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting a professional appraisal from Scott Tankersley is your strongest weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your home is in a declining area, your lender might make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be troublesome from a cash flow viewpoint, but it can be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. A professional appraisal from Scott Tankersley can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Do you need a seasoned professional to double-check your appraisal for verity, or do you desire a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? We can go out and check the subject and comps in a field review. Or, if you need it ASAP, we can provide desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

We can also provide a retrospective review of any appraisal report you may have had in the past. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may need to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
